Chinese story: 《漂亮的学校大门》 “我说不来，又叫我来，这个大门又旧又烂，我不想在这里念书！”一位女学生在大学门口大声地说。 在中国，学生很多，但是大学却不多，所以要考上一所大学不是一件容易的事。这位年轻的女学生非常努力地考上大学，难道只是希望学校有一个漂亮的大门？ 大部分的学生都喜欢学校有一个漂亮的大门，当自己的爸爸、妈妈，或者朋友来参观的时候，他才会觉得有面子。 大部分中国的大学都希望有一个漂亮的大门，因为这是一个学校的形象。大学是这样，一般的中学、小学也是这样的。 有漂亮的校门是很好的事，但是如果学生只是因为学校没有漂亮的大门，就不想读大学，这就变成了一件奇怪的事。 English translation: The beautiful school main gate I said I don’t want to come. Why you asked me to come here? The main gate of this school is old yet rotten. I don’t want to study here.” A female student shouted in front of a university’s main entrance. In China, students are too many. But universities are few. Getting an admission to a university is a tough work. This young female student must’ve studied very hard to gain approval for a place. Is it only for a beautiful school main gate? Many students want their school to have a beautiful main gate. So that when their parents or friends come to visit them, they would feel proud of themselves. In fact, most universities in mainland China definitely want to have a beautiful main gate which stands for the image of a school. Universities want that, and general high schools and elementary schools want that as well. It is certainly a good thing to have a great-looking main gate. But if a student doesn’t want to go to a university simply depends on the outward appearance of main gate, this is really a weird thing.
